New Biden equity push builds on efforts that spawned 300 woke programs

WASHINGTON – More than 90 federal agencies submitted “equity action plans” last year — something that will now be required annually across the US government under a new executive order from President Biden.

Biden’s Feb. 16 order — which forced every federal agency to report on “equity” in their organizations each year — followed moves from his early days in office that have led to hundreds of woke initiatives in the executive branch.

Soon after his inauguration on Jan. 20, 2021, Biden ordered the creation of “agency equity teams” to produce reports suggesting a “comprehensive approach to advancing equity for all.”

Last year, 92 federal agencies submitted such reports. But despite Biden’s rhetoric of “equity for all,” many of the plans centered exclusively on racial minorities – from prioritizing persons of color when doling out grants and government contracts to focusing outreach efforts specifically on non-white groups.

The Department of Transportation even codified this narrative in February 2021, adding “racial equity and barriers to opportunity as a consideration for awarding discretionary grants,” according to its report.

Critics call such policies unfair, arguing that introducing race as a factor in deciding who gets what in federal dollars illegally disenfranchises people based on the color of their skin.
